    Are you ready for the 411? Here we go...stopped by this restaurant with my coworkers for dinner and was pleasantly pleased. It was a spur of the moment decision and we were not disappointed. From the moment you entered, you felt the Cuban vibes with the ambiance and the music selection. This restaurant can accommodate both small and large parties. The food was delicious and we were so mesmerized by the ambiance, totally forgot to order our entrees. But again was not disappointed by the food, especially the mango butter and toast which was AMAZING! Try them out if you are in the area!

    Susan, our server was great. Very attentive. Enjoyed the drinks, but not the plastic champagne glass! The food was good. Would recommend the guacamole with crab. The seafood paella was overpriced for the small serving , but it was good. I'll def return.

    IM NOT MAD IM JUST DISAPPOINTED.. Let me preface this review by saying 30 minutes before entering this establishment me and the DirtyBoys were finishing up our shift at mcdonalds and Noone knows this but the freezer is the best place to fishbowl to really get you in the mood for some good food. Sadly for Adam and I, us DirtyBoys partook in habitual activities a little too hard and when we came in to enjoy our meals we sad down and the panic hit us both immediately and when as what we wanted to order Adam sat there frozen in fear from the anxiety and i could barely muster almost anything until finally i just shouted LEMON! She said; uh just a lemon are you sure..? Paralyzed by our crippling anxiety we just shook our head and moments later as our second stomach's had been seeking a gluttonous entail, tummy runblin, knees stumblin, she comes out with our meal. With glistening sunny eyes and tummies ready our happy face and hungry bellies our eyes after seeing the top of the plate quickly faded all forms of happiness as we realize it was just... A Lemon. Sad and hungry we stumbled out of there after paying 7$ for the Lemon and being to afraid to speak up and order any food as we may look silly we left. 10/10 experience i give it a DirtyBoys Seal Of Approval!!

    Cuba Libre has a really good happy hour deal. The drinks are reasonably priced, and the food options are great! I loved the yuca fries the best! But all of the food was good. We sat at the bar, and it wasn't crowded. The service was quick, and the bartender was friendly.
